Abstract: A power amplifier circuit includes an amplifier that amplifies an input signal RFin, a matching circuit that provides impedance matching between an output port of the amplifier and an output terminal, an input of the matching circuit being connected to the output port of the amplifier, an output of the matching circuit being connected to the output terminal, and a resonant circuit provided between ground and a signal path that connects the output port of the amplifier and the input of the matching circuit, the resonant circuit resonating at a resonant frequency greater than or equal to the frequency of a fourth harmonic wave of an amplified signal obtained by amplifying the input signal.

Abstract: A transmit-and-receive module includes a multiplexer, a power amplifier, and a low-noise amplifier. The multiplexer includes a transmit filter and a receive filter. The power amplifier and the low-noise amplifier are integrated with each other. In a Smith chart, impedance in a receive band of the receive filter seen from a receive terminal intersects a line connecting a center point of noise figure circles and a center point of gain circles. The center point of the noise figure circles represents the impedance at which the noise figure of the low-noise amplifier is minimized. The center point of the gain circles represents the impedance at which the gain of the low-noise amplifier is maximized.
